Men wishing to stay at the shelter must be 18 or older and be willing to abide by a basic set of rules of conduct. In addition, those wishing to stay at the shelter must agree to participate in a brief intake session with a case worker. All those wishing to stay are strongly encouraged – though not required – to undergo a medical screening as well.

Based on respect for the privacy of our clients, Pacific House will not say whether a client is staying here. However, if you need to get in touch with an individual you believe is staying with us, you may call 203-357-9886 and leave a message on our general answering service. The message will be posted and should the client reside with us, he will receive the message. It will then be up to the client whether or not to return the call.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Andrew Barer, Director of Development at 203-406-0017 or abarer@shelterforhomeless.org. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, visit the volunteer page.

I gave these folks lots of reasons to give up on me, but they kept saying ‘you’re too good for that, we’re not gonna let you do that to yourself.’ One day I finally went into the recovery program. I remember I got on my knees and prayed for the strength to do it. I got three grandkids ya’know. I wanted to know’em. That was five years ago and I ain’t had a drink since.
